You have the power to put a portion of your state income tax dollars directly back into your school. The deadline to do so for this year is Monday, April 18, 2022! We need 30 more credits to reach our goal, which will directly fund our costs for athletics and extracurriculars!
As you know, tax season is upon us! The Tax Credit drive at Arete Prep is important to the extra-curricular life of the school.
Arete knows student character is formed not only through the academic journey in our classrooms, but also by exploring the world through extracurriculars. Engaging in educational experiences such as these further encourages a love of learning in our students. We need your support in continuing this great work!
All our extracurriculars are supported through the Arizona State Tax Credit campaign. This campaign directly impacts our students, and we ask that all Arete families participate. It is because of the generosity of our families that we can offer character-building opportunities. We believe these activities, along with academics, are critical to the cultivation of both the minds and hearts of our students.
If you have already made your Tax Credit:
Thank you! Will you please encourage your Arizona friends, family, and neighbors to make their tax credit to your school, as well?
Please go online using this link to redirect your tax dollars. Remember, you will receive a dollar-for-dollar credit on your Arizona State tax bill. Simply include your tax receipt and subtract up to $400 when you file your Arizona taxes before April 18, 2022.
This is the last week to be entered into our incentive drawings! In gratitude to those who have taken the time to inform themselves about the Public-School Tax Credit and support Arete at no cost, we will be giving away 4 tickets, behind home plate at an Arizona Diamondbacks game (valued at over $400). So not only can you redirect your tax money to your child’s school, then get that money back from the state, costing you nothing, but you can also be drawn to win tickets valued at another $400!
